     3  article  had been incorporated in full in this section and had expressly
     4  referred  to  the  taxes  authorized by this section; provided, however,
     5  that any provision relating to a maximum rate shall be calculated  with-
     6  out reference to the rate of additional sales and compensating use taxes

    14  twelve  hundred  ten of this subpart shall, except as otherwise provided

    22  county  of  Herkimer  imposes  the additional one-quarter of one percent
    23  rate of sales and compensating use taxes authorized  by  section  twelve
    24  hundred  ten-E  of  this  article  for  all or any portion of the period
    25  beginning December first, two thousand seven and ending November thirti-
    26  eth, two thousand [seventeen] nineteen, the county  shall  use  all  net
    27  collections  from such additional one-quarter of one percent rate to pay
    28  the county's expenses for the construction  of  additional  correctional
    29  facilities.  The net collections from the additional rate imposed pursu-
